Project Description
RND’s approach to design was unique in that the food platforms were designed around the cooking process rather than around the menu, making it a process-based facility rather than a menu-based facility therefore totally flexible. For example, the Mongolian stir-fry can prepare, omelettes, tortillas, wraps, or nanbread without any modifications at all to it. Another unique feature was design of an area where customers can get a full view of kitchen operations – a la exhibition cooking. A Euro kitchen and a Kosher kitchen were also designed into this new facility. Cornell is rated in the Princeton Review’s top ten universities for Food Quality.
